I think it's time. This is the year of the Linux desktop because now we have Omarchy, Omarchy, Omarchy. This is the Linux desktop we've been waiting for. It's like you step into hyperdrive. You go like, oh, I used to use a a three wheeler and pedal around with in my little computer world, And then here's the Millennium Falcon, and we're going to hyperdrive. Let's go. This is this is what computers can be. They can be this exciting.
That's DHH, cofounder of Basecamp, creator of Ruby on Rails, and the creator of Omarchy. The way I pronounce it is Omarchy. Right. Omarchy. It's a Linux distro that feels like the OS we've been waiting for. It's a passion project for DHH. It's this quest for The perfect operating system. An operating system that feels like it's from a movie. Because Linux doesn't have to be ugly. Like, this is what I always wanted. I would always look at these great movies.
Right? The Matrix or whatever, and you'd see their little interaction like, why can't my computer look like that? Why is it only the movies that looks like that? And, like, wait. We could make it look like that. So a couple of things. It's an AI first OS, which I cannot wait to show you what that means. It's fast. Apparently, you can install it in under sixty seconds. It's endlessly customizable, and it's supposed to make it really easy to game on Linux.
But you see this thing? He doesn't want you to use it. No mouse ever, which I'm kinda here for. And it's the first time I've ever felt like I can actually use Linux without having to manage Linux. You know what I mean? I honestly think you're going to love this. Get your coffee ready. Oh, and it's also Arch, by the way. Let's go. So here we go. We're about to install the hardest to install Linux distro known to man, Arch Linux.
But it's only going to take us sixty seconds, I think. But before we do, hold on. Is this even for you? I asked DHH. Anyone who either already loves their computer or who is interested in loving their computer. Yes. It's for you. If you wanna love your computer, I think you do. Right? Yes. So let's get started. Now I'm gonna be quick because Omarchy is quick. First, we'll flash our USB drive with the latest version Quattro.
Then I'll grab an old gaming desktop I have lying around. It's running these specs. I can't remember right now, so I'm gonna have it on the screen. And I know what you're thinking. Chuck, what hardware do I use? Where do I install this? Here's what DHH uses. This is the Dell XPS, 16, which is, like, just great great machines. This is my favorite machine right now. But, Framework, I used those for a while too. Here's the Framework, Pro 13 Pro.
It's also a good machine. Keep in mind, that's for cutting edge hardware. But the cool thing about Omarchy is that you can run it on pretty much anything. Bring any old hardware back to life with potentially the best operating system in the world. Anyways, we're gonna boot into BIOS, select our USB key, and go. There we go. We're gonna start the clock. And what I wanna do is see if I can explain what the heck Arch Linux is and the time it takes to install Arch Linux.
Coffee break. What is Arch? Now I've been a longtime user of Ubuntu and Kali Linux. Both of these are Linux distros, but they're also based on or derived from Debian Linux, which is a Linux distro made from scratch. Stick with me. Know it's kinda weird, but I want you to understand what we're doing here and why it's kinda crazy. Now there's only a handful of distros that are on this level of from scratchness, the big five.
Some of these you've probably never heard of. Slackware, like the video if you've heard of Slackware. Comment if you haven't. I gotta hack the YouTube algorithm somehow by hacking you. Fedora or Red Hat, Gentoo, and finally, Arch. Omarchy, which feels like it should be Omarchy, but whatever, is based on Arch. But here's the thing about Arch. It's known for being on the cutting edge, opting for rolling updates versus the fixed releases of other distros, And it's also known for being minimal, very minimal.
There's almost nothing there. There's just Linux. And then there's a package manager called pacman, and then there's a DIY mentality that you should set everything up. Arch just hands you a root prompt and says, good luck. No GUI, no sound, no fonts, no sudo. Sudo, just an empty canvas. You choose and configure nearly everything. Memes like I run Arch, by the way, were born from the bragging rights of being able to set up Arch, from sinking all your time into not just building, but maintaining your Arch computer.
But it also meant that you knew Linux. It meant you kind of loved Linux and valued truly owning your computer, which usually means you make all the choices, making it your own or ricing, a term used for customizing the crap out of your Linux desktop. But there's kind of a dark side to that, which is you now have to keep up with each program you've installed. Whenever they release a new version, maybe it has breaking changes, maybe their APIs have changed, maybe their configuration file format has changed, you now have to reconfigure and relook into that program.
By the way, that was Chris from Typecraft. He's my friend and fellow YouTuber, and he loves Arch. And also now Omarchy. Omarchy. Dang it. I keep saying it wrong. Now I wanna point this out. I wanna call it out, and I wanna hear about it in the comments. Omarchy is kinda breaking the rules here for Arch people. Like, think about this. The weeks and months that you would spend into making your Arch Linux distro just perfect for you is now being done for you in a matter of seconds when you install it or a few minutes if you're me right now.
I literally have invested over the past year probably three thousand hours in making this system perfect. That's why Omarchy is referred to as an opinionated Linux distro. It's all DHH's opinion of how your computer should look and run. And the question I have is, how is that different from Mac or Windows? We'll get to that. But the beautiful part about Omarchy is that it gives you a working, beautiful system that you can start playing with right now.
And you know I like that. Now I'm gonna provide the base layer, the the base setup, and it's gonna have everything that a developer or computer lover would like to see out of the box. It's gonna have all the agent, sort of harnesses. It's gonna have all the installation stuff. Everything's just gonna be there. The terminal's gonna look beautiful. All the themes are integrated so that when you change from Tokyo Night to something else, everything just frills through.
But then it's a do it yourself adventure. And it's set up. Took roughly three minutes. Slower than sixty seconds, but it's an older system. What do you say we try it on this? Remember Terry? My dual forty ninety system? Yeah. He's gonna run, Omarchy. Okay. It's installing. One minute forty seven seconds. Better? I'll take it. Wow. That is pretty. It sees both my cards. It's pretty sick. Woo. Get back in the laptop. We're kinda just thrust into the world of a tiling window manager.
There's a version of Linux that's this neckbeard pocket protector completely devoid of style and sense of color coordination. It should be that just below the surface. We're built on all of these Uber nerds creating this incredible operating system over the last thirty plus years, 40,000,000 lines of just super nerdy code. Incredible. Not not this that happens could happen if they hadn't done this work. But then on top of it, we're gonna layer some some nice aesthetics because Linux doesn't have to be ugly.
The fonts don't have to render like shit. The window arrangement, the color coordination does not have to look like it was made by someone who's color blind. Alright. Let's configure the wireless. Seeing wireless just fine. I do like this a lot so far. Connected to Wi Fi. I like all the ping and the and all the network specs right there. Dude, that's actually pretty cool. I love that. Look at the messaging it gives you.
That speaks to me. I love this. Wiring bits, handling packets, sorting frames. It's like the, Claude thinking stuff. You can also share your network right here, the QR code. Even shows the password. We're gonna blur all that. Now from here, gets kind of frustrating if you've never used a tiling window manager before like me. I know I'm going to love this, but I just don't know how to use it yet. And it's okay if it takes a couple of days to learn your computer.
This is a computer system made for pros, and I mean that in the sense of professional computer lovers. People who are willing to invest time and energy into learning how their system works and reap the benefits that come from that investment. I can get down with that mentality. Does it not make you wanna just go deeper? Like, you wanna be part of that club. Right? Let's try, so I know I'll do the superkey. Let's try superkey space.
You can search for stuff. Fuzzy finding, and I'll do terminal. I think the default one is called foot. Okay. We did that. How do I zoom? Control plus plus plus plus. Okay. Got it. Now do you know something weird? There's no, there's no x's or maximize or any kind of window thing with we can do with our mouse. How are supposed to use this thing? I hate those three little dots that every window has had since the beginning of time on every operating system.
Like, there's none of that. You have to learn that super, which is the same as the Windows key or the command key, super w closes a window. You learned that once and now you never need to try to hunt for the little x up at the corner again with your with your dumb little mouse. Thankfully, Typecraft was here to show me how to do some stuff. That is why I love tiling window managers and even if I'm not programming, it's still just more fun to use.
I feel like I can just switch between panes really fast. I can switch between workspaces. It's easy to group windows together. It's easy to move them into different workspaces. It just feels like feels like a superpower, almost. Super is the way you move around in Hyprland. So I can type super one, two, and three. If I type super h, it'll move to the left pane that's currently on my screen right now. And if I type super l, it'll move to the right pane, and same thing with j and k.
You can see in the top left of the status bar, you have the numbers, 1234. So how you get around is you can hold the super button and just type a number. A super space is your application launcher. If I wanna launch, let's say, Ghostty, which is my terminal of choice, by the way, I can do that. I can just type Ghostty. It's a fuzzy finder. I can hit enter, and there we go. That's Ghostty. Okay. So I can switch my spaces by doing superkey one, which I'm already at, then two, three, four.
Okay. Cool. We already did super space. Let's open up CLI amp. I heard some things about this. Alright. I'm not I'm gonna try and not use my mouse. Let's do a lo fi stream. That's cool. And then I think we do superkey we can use our arrow keys to kinda switch windows. Why did it stop? Oh, it's like a radio. Right? Anyways, I'm going to close this. Okay. Cool. I can do superkey space and do then do learn, and then we can learn our key bindings.
Okay. Cool. Super shift return to open your browser. There it goes. How do I how do I close that little icon thing where I don't have a mouse? Oh, like that. I think I can do superkey f to make that full screen. Escape to you have to hold it. Okay. Let's learn some more. Super plus return for the terminal. Easy. Super w to close. This is fun. Super escape for the system menu. Okay. So we have a lot of things to memorize.
Can I get good? I think by the end of this video, I wanna I wanna be a super user. I wanna so stay tuned for that. I'm gonna practice. Oh, a theme menu. Super shift control space. Alright. Super shift control space. Oh, look at all of our options. Let's do solitude. Oh, I noticed how it changed the theme of, like, everything. Oh, I used my mouse. Dang it. Okay. Let's go. I cheated. Alright. Chuck.com. Okay. Let's try a white theme.
That changes so fast and so sick. Osaka Jade. Oh, that's so cool. Now the reason this is so fast is because of Quickshell. This what you're seeing right now is Quickshell. That's the desktop, and everything's running under one process from what I understand. Group box. Yeah. I like the feel of group group box. But you know what we can do? We can do this. So if I do super space and I do agent, we can select the default agent.
Remember, this is an AI driven OS, and you can choose a bunch of stuff. I'm I'm gonna choose Claude. I'll get logged in. I'm already logged in. And built into this is an Omarchy Omar Omarchy skill. We should be able to create our own themes easily with this. What about the rice dog? Here we go. I want you to create a unique, incredible, amazing theme based on ThreatLocker, the sponsor of this video. Create a theme, dude.
Let's go. This is so cool. Now while that's building, let's go into them. Does that have Neovim built in? No. I thought it did. Oh, it's like built in it's a built in app. So the sponsor of this video is ThreatLocker, and their whole philosophy is the reason why you're looking at this potential OS. You decide what runs on your computer, not malware. They call it deny by default. If an application is not on a list for it to run, it does not run.
Zero trust. Zero trust all your apps unless you say so. So ransomware from the sketchy attachment that someone, Linda, Brenda, it's Brenda, she clicked on it. She's in accounting. She clicked on it. It can't run. It's not on the list. It got bounced. That's called Allowlisting. And then there's this crazy thing called Ringfencing. Oh, it's almost done. Sorry. Got distracted. This puts a fence around an app, for example, like a PDF reader.
It has no business opening up PowerShell, so it can't. We just don't let it. And, also, like, look at my screen right now. There's an AI agent running all kinds of commands on my computer. He's not offended. At home, on this machine, that's lightning speed. I love this. At corporate and the enterprise, I don't want Brenda doing this or George or Bernard. None of them. But ThreatLocker can help you help them to run AI stuff.
A box of men. Now this isn't some niche tool that just came out on Twitter. It's legit. Did I say Twitter? I mean I mean x. So hard to get used to saying that. Over 70,000 companies run ThreatLocker, Emirates, JetBlue, the Indianapolis Colts. So it's not just airlines. Okay. It's almost done. While it's making that, I wanna do one more thing because why not? What's my key binding for agents? Super shift control a. Okay.
Excellent. Let's build a custom fastfetch theme. It finished. Did you see that? Okay. It's done. Oh, look at that. That is so sick. And if I try to switch themes oh, wait. What was it again? Yeah. There it is. It's just sitting there. It's a ThreatLocker theme. That's awesome. I wanna do another thing too. It did the screen saver. How sick is that? Best ad ever. Legit. That was so cool. It's gonna fix it. It's like it was too wide.
There's our fastfetch. Did not use the right ThreatLocker logo, but it looks pretty sick. And they do run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. They don't run Arch yet. ThreatLocker, can we do Arch? I mean, look at that. How can you not wanna do Arch after you see this ThreatLocker? Say in the comments below, ThreatLocker, do Arch because this is the year of the Linux desktop. I'm getting hyped. That this is so freaking fun. I need a coffee break.
I'm getting too stoked. Let me calm down a little bit. Are you seeing this? Are you seeing this ThreatLocker? Okay. That's it. If you thought that was cool, go to this link right here. Show ThreatLocker some love and make me look good. Link below. Now enough jacking around with themes. DHH keeps using this word about this computer, the future of ROS, malleable. And it's the whole reason I'm thinking about switching. Like, after seeing that, how can you not wanna switch?
I think by the end of this video, I'm gonna be switching to Linux for everything. Now getting back to my question from earlier. When we're switching to Omarchy to Linux, aren't we just kind of shifting from Mac's and Windows opinions about our OS to DHH's? No. I don't think we are. I think he's giving us a great starting point. A computer that's ready to use now, that's already fun right now, but you can rice it to your heart's content.
This is your computer, not Apple's, not Microsoft's, yours. And the word DHH keeps using This vision of the malleable computer that you can change to your specifications and liking. This is the malleable desktop. And I like that word malleable. Say it again. Malleable. Say it right now out loud. Malleable. Now take a sip of coffee. It's the idea that this desktop is yours, and you can change it as much as you want. And now that we have the power of AI that you just kinda got a glimpse of, you can absolutely do whatever you want.
Like, you have an idea, you just no. I know we kind of already riced my system a bit, but I wanna rice it more. And it's gotta be quick because I don't have time. You don't have time to sit here and watch me sit here and rice this. Let's see if AI really does empower me here. Let's try this. Oh, no. I opened up chat. I'm out. No. Close. I forgot how to do stuff. There we go. Rice test number one, Cyberpunk. See what happens.
I like how it prompts me for my sudo password. That's pretty cool. Little coffee break while it's building. I don't know how many cups I've had today. Okay. I finished the neon theme. Let's go try it out. Switch to CyberpunkNeon. That's actually pretty sick. And it even gave me a whole set of Quickshell options. I can make it stop raining. That's that's so cool. I can show status. Okay. Don't wanna see that. Let's get it running again.
And, of course, if I play some music, got that over the top, man. That's so sick. You hear the fans on this thing right now? Let's switch back to normal. Now also while I was waiting, I tried to have Claude build out something fun. API was failing, so I just changed my agent to ChatGPT or Codex. Oh, I'm gonna switch it right here? Look at that. Oh my gosh. That is so freaking cool. I can see my usage. Man. Anyways, I had to build something fun.
You ready for this? So cool. Switching now. Windows XP. Are you seeing this? This is so sick. Notice it does have it's got the window options again. Let me see if I can actually close it. Oh, it doesn't actually work. But in my head, it does. Got the clock down here. I mean, this is Windows XP. What programs do I have? What's my computer? It did it did everything. K. I think I'm screen recording right now. And dude, that is so cool.
This is so fun. Alright. Let's switch back. So the cool thing about Quickshell is that it allows people to develop plugins for Omarchy much easier than they otherwise would. Okay. So we can build our own plugins. Let's try that. Let's build a pomodoro timer. Whilst building that, let's try gaming. Now while you weren't looking, I installed Steam. Gaming on Linux has traditionally been, sorry for that. And also why you weren't looking, I installed portal.
Let's see if it works. Play. So first, all good. Alright. Fans are going nuts. That's okay, though. As long as I can play. No. What was that? No. I'm gonna play. New game. Uh-oh. And it crashed. Now this, I was actually kinda hoping it would do that. You see this up here? Process crashed. Click to diagnose with AI. AI is built in. Click on it. Dude, check it. It's starting to diagnose. And how do I hide this? I think I go command t.
Oh, yeah. There we go. Oh, you can kinda, like, toggle it floating with super, super t. K. It's diagnosing the crash for me right now. This is why it's not scary to use Linux now, especially Arch, the most fearful of them all. You can just figure things out. AI can help you. Let me check on my plug in. It's still working. Now I honestly have no idea if that's something it can fix. If it can, that's gotta fire. I'm really starting to get used to this keyboard though, or the keyboard actions, the tiling window manager.
It's fun. I'm already at 71% of my weekly on Codex. Dag gum. So cool you can see it right here though. I have been building. Now while it's working, I got something special in the mail just now. It's so perfect for what's happening right now. I'll be right back. I got a package. Oh, it finished. So it didn't solve it, but it did say, like, it's a portal issue. It's not an Omarchy thing, so we shouldn't upload the issue.
How do I fix it? K. Let's open this box. It, like, literally came as I'm recording this. Framework did send this to me, specifically because they knew I was gonna be talking about Omarchy. Beautiful packaging. I'm loving this. Wait. Do I have to assemble this? I was gonna do something real quick with this. I might have to do that later. Alright. It told me to use a compatibility tool. I'm gonna do Proton eleven zero.
Okay. Let's see if that helps. Oh, we get to update it? I've never done this before. Okay. My pomodoro timer's done. Do you see at the top there? Dude, this is, like, built in. Right? Oh, this is so cool. Start. There we go. Pomodoro is running. Pause. I wonder how it looks if I go to Windows. Quickshell, baby. Let's go. Do I lose it? Yeah. Let me do, let's choose a random one like Rootbox. Oh, it just it looks so nice.
It just adapts. It's got settings. Even though the fan is having a heart attack right now, I get this. I get it. Hacker, man. Okay. While we're waiting for Portal to reinstall, me and Chris found something kinda cool. Do do super key space to search for Windows. Oh, Okay. Look at this. It's Docker. That's sick. That's amazing. Check this out. Super key space, Windows. It's right here. I don't know what's gonna happen.
It's launching Windows. I'm having a lot of fun with this operating system. I don't know what it's doing. Oh, my game is ready. Okay. We're bouncing all over the place. I know. Let's play. Hey. It's working. Yes. And it's, you know, it's pretty smooth. Oh, I haven't played this in a long time. Let me play with my girls. Let me out. Can I use a remote? Let's see. Just like that, dude. I mean, this looks really good. Alright.
Enough of this. I'm gonna sit here and play this forever. It's close steam. Let's try Windows one more time. I think what I did is I had tried it, like yeah. I had tried it once before, and I'm like, no. I don't wanna see it yet. I wanna show you guys. And check this out. It's setting up a Windows VM for us, probably KVM. We'll give it four gigs of RAM. Yeah. All the defaults. NetworkChuck. Good password. Yeah. So it's gonna be running Windows inside Docker.
Look at that. Where'd my Quickshell bar go? Did it crash? Now if you do superkey t, you kinda go into, I think, Chris called it scrolling mode or something where you can still move things around with your mouse if you wanna go old school. My Quickshell bar is gone all of a sudden. Okay. Let's set this aside for a moment. Even after all of this, many of you may be like, okay. What exactly is Omarchy? Is it just Arch Linux with a bunch of custom dotfiles that DHH riced?
Yeah. Because essentially all it is is Arch Linux with Hyprland and Quickshell as the desktop. The combination of those three three three things, Arch, Hyprland, and Quickshell, has allowed me to build Omarchy into this perfect distillation of aesthetics, productivity, and everything I love about computers. But, honestly, it itself acts more like a distro, Ubuntu and Kali Linux because of the way it handles updates. Remember, Arch Linux is always like when you update anything, it's just like the cutting edge, bleeding edge, and it's if you update something and it breaks, figure it out, or it's your job to go read all the information about the updates before you update yourself.
Omarchy is like, we're gonna have your back on that. It has its own package repo and its own mirror of Arch itself. It's intentionally one month behind, and it has channels. So right now, can go to super key space and go to update. I can look at the channel. It's got stable RC edge and dev. This ensures that all the choices that DHH helped us make aren't broken constantly by the bleeding edge aspect of Arch. Okay. It's it's still installing.
It's taking a long time, but it's still cool. I'll wait. I'm patient, dude. It's ringing in QEMU. I honestly don't know where Quickshell went. Wait. Do I maybe I have to press any key to close this and things come back to normal. No. Let me ask AI where it went. Hey. What happened to my Quickshell? I don't see any menus right now. I can just ask for help. I think Windows may have gotten stuck at 84%. Oh, it's going. It's almost done.
Oh, I toggled it off. Okay. I just turned it off. How did I do that? I don't remember doing that, dude. Alright. Closing you. I'm all keyboard, man. If I do super control t, I can see btop, and it gives me all my stuff. How things are going right now? Oh, I like this. So this laptop only has 16 gigs of RAM. It's actually doing really well with usage, and I'm spinning up a VM or a container. I'm curious. I have a terminal Docker PS.
There's Windows right there. Hi. You know, this is taking a long time to get set up, and I think all that DHH wanted to do with this is to show you that Windows takes forever and Omarchy takes nothing. Nice play, DHH. I see you. Almost there. Let's see how it feels. Okay. This is not terrible, but very fun. It's actually pretty quick. Can I hear it? Does the sound come through? No. There's no sound drivers. No. But the video's playing really well.
It's crazy. Okay. It runs Windows. Now if I close it here, I think it's still gonna run. Still running. Okay. So you can just reopen it immediately after you're done. I think it's still the same session. Let me actually, let me open up. Well, no. It's not because I had a browser open. Right? How do I get out of here? This is so weird. This thing is still steamy. Okay. Time for the serious question. Can we actually say when we install and use Omarchy?
I use Arch, by the way. You might think, yes, just by default, but I posted about it and I got stuff immediately. People coming at me. There's a whole culture around this. There's actually a really bad term for Omarchy. Don't look it up. But the consensus by and I'm gonna use DHH's terms by the neckbeards is that Omarchy isn't true Arch Linux. You can't wear that badge because you didn't configure it. You don't have those bragging rights.
You didn't go through the pain of installing everything meticulously. You didn't earn it. And to that, I say, it's kinda dumb. Like, I get it, but also times have changed. We're entering a new age where, yes, you would have had to do something like that to get this desktop, but now you don't have to. And if you actually do that, it's kind of a waste of time. I think DHH and Chris see that. Yeah. No. You can you can always say you use Arch, by the way, even if you're on Omarchy.
So what's cool now is having a computer running Arch is no longer gated by hours of complexity. Having a computer that is completely yours, breaking free of the walls and the forced opinions of Apple and Microsoft, it's now in reach for everyone, for you, for me. Because honestly, I've always wanted to be part of this camp. Like, I wanted to I saw PewDiePie making his ricing video, but I cannot justify the time for that.
Can you? I've got a job. I'm running two companies. I have six kids. Ubuntu for me, man. Until now. Now I can do this. I can create exactly the computer I want with the most cool Linux distro out there. And there's nothing stopping you from doing this right now. Yes. It's comfortable. It's cozy in Mac and Windows land. Yes. It's gonna be a bit of a learning curve moving here. I think AI in general is a really great great way to make Linux setups like this a lot less scary.
And that, I think Linux was missing that. That's why I think this very well might be the year of the Linux desktop because the complexity is still there underneath the surface, but it's not gated by neckbeards. That's my most elegant way of saying that. Now am I going to switch to Omarchy? Omarchy. I'll get it right eventually. Yes, I think. I'm gonna run Terry on Omarchy. I'm gonna keep this laptop on Omarchy. I might give this away actually.
I'm probably gonna install Omarchy on this Framework laptop when I could figure out how to put it together. I just that's a cool idea. I like that. But similar to Chris, I can't do I can't do everything right now because and maybe, you know, maybe I might, but there there are things like recording videos. Like, I'm recording this video right now on Windows because I have a very specific application I need for this, and it's reliable.
I know it is. I I worry that Linux will support everything I need. There's drivers. There's just things. It's gonna be a trust thing. So I think slowly, can give more and more of my workload over to Linux, but I'm game. The naysayers are always like, oh, you're gonna spend all your time having to maintain Linux. Not anymore. Like with AI, you don't have to do that. If something breaks, you tell him to fix it, her to fix it, whatever you wanna call your AI, and it does it.
We're in a new age of computing. So what about you? Are you going to be switching to Omarchy? Are you going to at least try it? I think you can actually install it side by side dual boot with Windows. They make it really easy. They release that after I started messing with this, but I think you should. Just get in there and try it. You don't have to fully commit. Go on a date. Just feel it out. Anyways, that's all I got.
I use Arch, by the way. Hey. You're still here. At the end of my videos, I like to pray for you, my audience. It's not a new thing anymore. I've been doing it for a while. But if you stay till the end, I appreciate you. If you didn't know this is gonna going to happen, then I don't think this was an accident. So you might as well stick around. Right? I wanna pray for you right now. Let's do it. One, three, pray. God, I thank you for the person on the other side of the screen.
I thank you for who they are. They're valuable. They are cherished. They are amazing. And I just thank you that they're here, that they're watching a video about Linux because that's cool. And I pray that this this video, this video about tech, will just ignite a fire in them to do amazing things in their life. I don't know where they're at, but you do. So I pray for this person right now that they would take this knowledge they've earned from this video, and they use it.
They propel it, or they'll use it to propel themselves into a new career or to a new promotion or just into an exciting new hobby or community or something. I pray this over their lives. And if they're anxious about AI, if they're stressed, remove that. Replace that with excitement because we're living in exciting times, and it's easy to get bogged down, but it's also a time where we can get excited together. And I pray that you just give them peace right now.
I pray peace over their lives. And ultimately, God, I pray in your name that they would come to know you, and many people may have no idea what that means, and that's okay. I pray that you would put in their path somehow a chance to get to know you better, Jesus. I ask this in your name. Amen. Thank you for letting me do that. I'll catch you guys next time.
